Not to be "that guy," but anyone listening to TWY before The Upsides knew they would be great (because they already were). The Upsides didn't have to prove the band wasn't a fluke, let alone Suburbia, because they never were one.

Honestly I was not sold till suburbia. Their first album has its fun moment but for the most partn is a joke imo. The Upsides is much better but Suburbia is when the band really solidified themselves. Like I said its just my opinion but I have no desire to listen to their first album anymore. Easycore normally is not my thing but this band has continued to define themselves as so much more.

I own both The Upsides and Suburbia, and while I like a select few songs on them, I was never able to get into The Wonder Years. However, after listening to this album it's just clicked. This album is fucking incredible. It blows away anything else they've ever done imo.

Funny that the band doesn't even want to really be associated with their first album. And WBPF left a lot to be desired sans Salinger. They completely took it to a new level with The Upsides.

doesn't matter if soupy wants to disown the album, the band has GSOI to thank for a lot of its early fans. i agree that they took it to a new level with the upsides, which is precisely my point. WBPF was good; if anything proved the band wasn't a fluke, it's the upsides, but certainly not suburbia.

it's great but it doesn't quite compare to the upsides and suburbia, at least not yet. only listened about 3-4 times all the way through so far so i definitely need to give it more listens to really let it sink in
